As we communicated, data from public folders was not migrated to G Suite. It is important to note that public folders as a service will no longer be available. Your data will be accessible through the legacy version of Outlook until April 30. Below is a chart of options to consider for how to manage your data going forward. If you do not migrate your public folder data, VITA can provide it to you upon request. If you have any questions, please contact your customer account manager.
